Keith Urban - Little Bit Of Everything - Video, Lyrics and Review

Lyrics

I wish I could take a cab down to the creek
And hang a disco ball from an old oak tree
Smoke and drink once in a while
Somehow it'd be good for me
I want a cool chick that'll cook for me
But'll dance on the bar in her tan bare feet
And do what I want when I want and she'll do it with me

I don't need too much of nothing
I just wanna sing a little chill song
Get my groove on
Pour something strong
Down in my drink
Oh, I know
That I don't need a whole lot of anything
I just want a little bit of everything
Na na na na, na na na na
I just want a little bit of everything
Na na na na, na na na na

Now I don't need a garage full of cars
But I'll take a whole box of Cuban cigars
And I'll smoke 'em nice and slow
Like they were good for me
Don't need a ranch or a big piece of land
But I like to get a little bit of dirt on my hands
A big ole couch in a big ole room
Still feels lonely when it's just you
Yes it does

I don't need too much of nothing
I just wanna sing a little chill song
Get my groove on
Pour something strong
Down in my drink
Oh, I know
That I don't need a whole lot of anything
I just want a little bit of everything
Na na na na, na na na na

A little bit of everything
Under the sun
So, when I kick back basking in it
I'll be OK with what I've done
Still having fun

Cause I don't need too much of nothing
I just wanna sing a little chill song
Get my groove on
Pour something strong
Down in my drink
Oh, I know
That I don't need a whole lot of anything
I just want a little bit of everything
Na na na na, na na na na
I just want a little bit of everything
Na na na na, na na na na
I just want a little bit of everything
Yeah yea yea
Whoa, whoa, oh yeah

Review

Perhaps it should be no surprise that after five months spent judging ‘American Idol,’ Keith Urban has delivered his most pop-friendly single to date in ‘Little Bit of Everything.’ The talented singer and guitarist uses tricks in production that a less established singer would be skewered for. The result is a delightful summer jam that’s short on nutritional content.

The electronic effects during the introduction — and later, with a drum machine — stand out over Urban’s guitar work and the song’s message. But a sugar-coated chorus rights any wrongs.

“I don’t need too much of nothing / I just wanna sing a little chill song / Get my groove on, pour something strong / Down in my drink / Oh, I know that I don’t need a whole lot of anything / I just want a little bit of everything / Na na na na, na na na na,” Urban sings.

The verses are carefree… to a fault. All of the wrinkles of testosterone aren’t quite ironed out of the first verse, but the Warren Brothers and Kevin Rudolf do a better job of injecting some blue-collar, country boy sensibility into the second.

“Now I don’t need a garage full of cars / But I’ll take a whole box of Cuban cigars / And I’ll smoke ‘em nice and slow / Like they were good for me / Don’t need a ranch or a big piece of land / But I like to get a little bit of dirt on my hands / A big ole couch in a big ole room / Still feels lonely when it’s just you,” Urban sings before the chorus repeats.

‘Little Bit of Everything’ is a good fit for the superstar. He wraps his arms around the spirit of the song and doesn’t try to make it something bigger than a catchy, feel-good, open-road anthem. Lyrics that dig deeper would make his first track from an upcoming album more memorable, but that chorus will keep this song from ever becoming forgettable.
